Candlemass was formed by bassist \u0026 songwriter Leif Edling in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984 \u0026 is well known for its epic doom metal, having a great influence over a generation of the genre's subsequent greats such as Paradise Lost \u0026 My Dying Bride - Candlemass themselves taking a large influence from Black Sabbath. ‘Ancient Dreams’ was Candlemass' third album, released in 1988 \u0026 it featured a natural progression of slow-mid tempo epic arrangements from their previous release, ‘Nightfall’ - perhaps even more distinction between slow \u0026 faster parts - with the unique tones \u0026 unmistakable voice of Messiah Marcolin still dominating proceedings on this pure doom metal classic. With a perfect balance between melody \u0026 sheer heaviness, it is still debatable as to whether this is the ultimate Candlemass \u0026 therefore greatest doom metal album of all time, with some giving this particular title preference over the seminal ‘Nightfall’ album. ‘Ancient Dreams’ was produced by Leif Edling \u0026 Candlemass \u0026 was recorded at Stockholm Recording studios in 1988. Marking 35 years since release, this edition of ‘Ancient Dreams’ is presented on limited green marble-effect vinyl, featuring the original cover art.","brand":"Candlemass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55304365637976,"sku":null,"price":23969478.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0801056810618_59eb12fa-4e7f-43f0-9a15-f7be810f558e.jpg?v=1772661226","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/candlemass_ancient-dreams_2023_pia","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
